I spent the day troubleshooting an electrical problem on the Cessna. Bloke and Rodney finished up an installation on the RV7. There was time for a quick flight and Rodney and Bloke went out to beat up the pattern for a couple passes. Their smoke systems are working very well.

The smoke is made by injecting an oil into the exhaust pipe. What you see is a cloud of condensing oil vapor.

What is the smoke made of?

That blue plane is so small, I cannot believe there is someone inside flying it.
Very nice though,must be great fun.
Great shot.

The biplane wrecked in Hurricane Ike was an AN-2. Bloke has had his plane in the hangar.
